Around the world female slaves were more valuable due to the fact that not only could they work but they created free worker's in the way of bearing children. Of course most people do not realize that slaves were in the beginning only indentured servants, as the holy bible explains: a person willing to exchange six years of their life for housing and education could do so as indentured servants. At the end of the six years they could stay on as workers or move on to work their own land or business.
